<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Hello,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I want to use CTest for nightly builds. In
this context I need to know if there were any errors while configuring,
building or testing (…) the target. I need this to trigger other events in
the nightly build script. (Platform: Windows XP, Visual Studio 2005)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>When using CTest with the “–D Nightly”
flag (or single step versions like NightlyUpdate), it seems that it returns an
error value (!=0) if a step fails. This is true for all steps except the build
step. Even if there is an error while building one of the target’s
projects the return of CTest will be 0. In difference one failing test in the
test step will cause a return value of != 0.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Is there any sound way to query if the
build step failed or at least if any error occurred in the whole Nightly Build
processing? It seems to me that parsing the build.xml file of the according
nightly build for <Error> elements is not a very elegant way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thank you for any help or suggestion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
